I’m taking on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge with #TeamStAnns!

Dad was only at St. Ann's for a few days but the nurses, doctors and volunteers at this amazing hospice looked after him with love, dignity and kindness. The care that my Mum, my sister and I received during his care and after he had passed away was just as amazing as well. We will be forever grateful for the way that they all looked after my Dad and us as a family.

So for the reasons above my sister, Helen, and I will be taking part in the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge to raise as much money as we can so that other families can continue to get the help and support that they need in difficult times.

This is a big challenge, 24 miles (38.6km), climbing, altogether, over 1500m (5000ft). This is not something I've ever tried before but with the support of my family, friends and my Sister by my side on the day we will do it.

I’m supporting an amazing cause that provides compassionate care to patients with life-limiting illnesses and vital support to their families across Greater Manchester.

St Ann’s Hospice is a lifeline for so many, but with only a third of their funding coming from the NHS, they need to raise £20,000 each day to continue offering their essential services.

Every step I take across Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough will help St Ann’s provide the care and support that makes a real difference. Please consider donating what you can to support this vital work.

£10.85 could provide TVs and WiFi for inpatients to enjoy during their stay.

£20.60 could pay for a relaxing hand or foot massage for a patient or carer.

£30.60 could fund a bereavement session for a loved one with their specialist team.

Please give what you can, all is appreciated.

Thank you so much for your support!
